NAME

       MongoDB::GridFSBucket::UploadStream - File handle abstraction for uploading

VERSION

       version v2.2.2

SYNOPSIS

           # OO API
           $stream  = $bucket->open_upload_stream("foo.txt");
           $stream->print( $data );
           $stream->close;
           $id = $stream->id;

           # Tied handle API
           $fh = $stream->fh
           print {$fh} $data;
           close $fh;

DESCRIPTION

       This class provides a file abstraction for uploading.  You can stream data to an object of
       this class via methods or via a tied-handle interface.

       Writes are buffered and sent in chunk-size units.  When "close" is called, all data will
       be flushed to the GridFS Bucket and the newly created file will be visible.

ATTRIBUTES

   chunk_size_bytes
       The number of bytes per chunk.  Defaults to the "chunk_size_bytes" of the originating
       bucket object.

       This will be stored in the "chunkSize" field of the file document on a successful upload.

   filename
       The filename to store the file under. Note that filenames are NOT necessarily unique.

       This will be stored in the "filename" field of the file document on a successful upload.

   metadata
       An optional hashref for storing arbitrary metadata about the file.

       If defined, this will be stored in the "metadata" field of the file document on a
       successful upload.

   content_type (DEPRECATED)
       An optional MIME type. This field should only be used for backwards compatibility with
       older GridFS implementations. New applications should store the content type in the
       metadata hash if needed.

       If defined, this will be stored in the "contentType" field of the file document on a
       successful upload.

   aliases (DEPRECATED)
       An optional array of aliases. This field should only be used for backwards compatibility
       with older GridFS implementations. New applications should store aliases in the metadata
       hash if needed.

       If defined, this will be stored in the "aliases" field of the file document on a
       successful upload.

METHODS

   id
           $id = $stream->id;

       The id of the file created by the stream.  It will be stored in the "_id" field of the
       file document on a successful upload.  Some upload methods require specifying an id at
       upload time.  Defaults to a newly-generated BSON::OID or BSON codec specific equivalent.

   fh
           my $fh = $stream->fh;
           print $fh, 'test data...';
           close $fh

       Returns a new file handle tied to this instance of UploadStream that can be operated on
       with the built-in functions "print", "printf", "syswrite", "fileno" and "close".

       Important notes:

       Allowing one of these tied filehandles to fall out of scope will NOT cause close to be
       called. This is due to the way tied file handles are implemented in Perl.  For close to be
       called implicitly, all tied filehandles and the original object must go out of scope.

       Each file handle retrieved this way is tied back to the same object, so calling close on
       multiple tied file handles and/or the original object will have the same effect as calling
       close on the original object multiple times.

   abort
           $stream->abort;

       Aborts the upload by deleting any chunks already uploaded to the database and closing the
       stream.

   close
           $file_doc = $stream->close;

       Closes the stream and flushes any remaining data to the database. Once this is done a file
       document is created in the GridFS bucket, making the uploaded file visible in subsequent
       queries or downloads.

       On success, the file document hash reference is returned as a convenience.

       Important notes:

       •   Calling close will also cause any tied file handles created for the stream to also
           close.

       •   "close" will be automatically called when a stream object is destroyed. When called
           this way, any errors thrown will not halt execution.

       •   Calling "close" repeatedly will warn.

   fileno
           if ( $stream->fileno ) { ... }

       Works like the builtin "fileno", but it returns -1 if the stream is open and undef if
       closed.

   print
           $stream->print(@data);

       Works like the builtin "print".

   printf
           $stream->printf($format, @data);

       Works like the builtin "printf".

   syswrite
           $stream->syswrite($buffer);
           $stream->syswrite($buffer, $length);
           $stream->syswrite($buffer, $length, $offset);

       Works like the builtin "syswrite".

CAVEATS

   Character encodings
       All the writer methods (e.g. "print", "printf", etc.) send a binary representation of the
       string input provided (or generated in the case of "printf").  Unless you explicitly
       encode it to bytes, this will be the internal representation of the string in the Perl
       interpreter.  If you have ASCII characters, it will already be bytes.  If you have any
       characters above 0xff, it will be UTF-8 encoded codepoints.  If you have characters
       between 0x80 and 0xff and not higher, you might have either bytes or UTF-8 internally.

       You are strongly encouraged to do your own character encoding with the Encode module or
       equivalent and upload only bytes to GridFS.
